14 Nov - Logo and Tracklist Making
I have experimented with different things today, for example the Mosaic Tool and the Spot Heal tool in Photoshop. However, many of these didn't work so I delete them. The other work I've done on this is put the logo on, put the barcode on, and also the tracklist is starting to come together. Here is a photo of what I have done today:

12 Nov - Finishing the Logo
Today, I have finished my logo for my band. I learned how to transfer a bitmap graphic and turn it into a vector graphic. Here are the two different bitmap images that I first used:
I then afterwards traced these out on Adobe Illustrator, which then resulted in these images:

I then put this onto xara, and constructed my logo. First of all, I filled in the fire picture so that it contains color inside. Then, I put the stone into the middle of the fireball. Lastly, I added my band name at the bottom of my logo which then creates this:

8 Nov - Making a Band Logo
Today, we started to enquire on making our band logos. First of all, I create a XARA file which contained some information about logos that I really liked. Here is the file:
I talk about logos which were unique, and some which are my favorite. Also, I started to work on my logo as well. Here is the concept - Since my band name is Stone on fire, it will be a Stone which has been set on fire. On the stone, i will have a drum kit on it. Then, I will put the band name on the bottom. However, I only have just created the stone in XARA today so there is nothing I can show today.

4th Nov - Touching up the Band Photo
Today, I touched up my band photo with the Background Eraser Tool. Here is a screenshot of what I did today:
Because of the fact that when using the selection tool in Photoshop to extract pictures, it sometimes leaves a border around the photo, I had to manually remove most of the white pixels around the desired areas of the photo. This is a zoomed-in part that I am working on. Some of the white pixels have been removed, but there are still some. I work with 1px on my eraser tool, because it provides me with the pinpoint accuracy I need. After I am done with the background eraser tool, I will have finished with the front part of my CD cover. Here is what the whole thing looks like now:
Although when people look at the CD cover, it will only appear as a small line around the picture, this is not what I want as I do not want any white pixels around my picture at all. Next lesson, after I finished with the eraser tool, I will work on making the logo.
